Experiencing problems with your aluminium joinery? Is it leaking? Causing a draught? Rattling? Are the window catches broken, locks failing and the doors not shutting properly? Is the ranch slider jammed and almost impossible to slide?
Brett Sanford strongly recommends not putting up with it.
He says allowing such problems to fester usually means more expensive repairs later on.
Take a sliding door, if the wheels in the door seize up with sand or dirt or collapse entirely, the door will drop down onto the track and as you slide the door it grates on the track and can scrape the aluminium, causing track damage.
“What could have been a modest cost for replacing a set of wheels, can then turn into a more expensive exercise,” he says.
To help people resolve their aluminium joinery problems, Brett set up Window Worx last month and is based in Point Wells.
He has spent 17 years in the aluminium joinery industry and has been involved in everything from sales and marketing, aluminium fabrication, design and training.
In addition, Brett is a qualified engineer and builder, which comes in handy when dealing with homes with structural issues causing windows and doors to jam – often new homes can experience a settling-in period, which then requires some adjustments to windows and doors.
Brett says he finds the work always interesting because of the multitude of different approaches to aluminium joinery. “Every job is different. There are so many variables so many different designs. Aluminium joinery is changing all the time,” he says.
